Bob Jackson commuter

Some really nice commuter bikes. Here are some shots of my new Bob Jackson touring bike that I use mainly for commuting. My route is about 22 miles round trip with lots of hills, so I tried to keep it as light as possible without compromising reliability or functionality. I think I succeeded in that regard as the bike weighed about 21 lbs. built up with pedals, cages and front rack, but not including the saddle bag, lights and computer. I ordered the Jackson frame new from England and the only disappointment was the head tube being 1.5 cm shorter than what they told me it would be, hence the head-tube extender.

Frame: Bob Jackson World Tour, 57 x 57
Wheels: Mavic Open Pros with Ultegra hubs, DA skewers, Michelin Pro2Race 25s, Planet Bike Cascadia 35 mm fenders
Controls: Ritchey handlebar, Nitto Deluxe stem, Chris King headset
Drivetrain: Dura-Ace bar-end shifters, DA/Ultegra derailleurs, Campy Centaur compact crank (34x50), Ultegra 12-27 cassette (9 speed)
Brakes: Shimano 600 levers, Shimano 550 cantilevers
Saddle: Fizik Vitesse w/ Thomson Elite seatpost
Bags & Racks: Carradice Barley seatbag, Bagman rear rack, Nitto M-12 front rack
Lights: Fenix L2D headlight, Dinotte 140 tail light
Misc.: Ciussi SS cages, Serotta 2cm head tube extender, SPD pedals
